PEMA Kostner Hand-Carved Nativity Goat Lying with Two Kids from Val Gardena
The PEMA Kostner Goat Lying with Two Kids is a finely hand-carved nativity figure crafted in Val Gardena, Italy, where Alpine woodcarving traditions have been preserved for generations. Carved from sycamore maple and finished with hand-applied oil paints, this piece adds warmth, tenderness, and family connection to traditional nativity scenes.
The mother goat is shown resting peacefully with one kid nestled on each side, creating a balanced and intimate composition. Both kids wear small collars with bells and are painted in natural, lifelike tones that enhance realism. The gentle interaction between the figures conveys care and togetherness, making this grouping a meaningful addition to pastoral sections of the display.
This figure is available in 4", 5", and 6.5" sizes and is carefully scaled to match Joseph within each corresponding nativity set. It is offered as an optional add-on figure and is not included in any PEMA Kostner nativity set. Additional sizes and finishes may be available upon request.
